I know of at least one predetermined alliance from Great Lakes. Let's call them teams A and B. Team A went so far as
to not want to be top 8, because they knew that if both themselves and team B were in top 8, they
could not be allied together. now, team A had the opportunity to (excuse my language) screw their
alliance partner over in late elimination rounds. luckily, they did display gracious
professionalism. but this alliance thing can be destructive.
: Ok, maybe I'm just a bit slow here, but I don't see a problem. I see no cases where a team would be so uncompetitive to choose a predetermined alliance partner when they could pick someone better. Every one of the top 8 seeds should choose the partner that best compliments their particular robot.
